OPPOSE WOMAN SUFFRAGE Antis Getting Publicity Bureau In Working Order That woman suffrage is to be stubbornly fought at the coming election in California is attested by energy shown on the part of antis. The suffragettes are maintaining a publicity bureau in Los Angeles for the southern part of the state. Antis have also opened headquarters, and from now on the fight promises to be a merry one. We append an excerpt from the latest broadside of anti-suffrage literature: In a recent issue of a leading New York daily the woman suffrage platform is summed up as follows: "We want to vote. We ought to vote. We will keep up this agitation till we are allowed to vote." In this paper it is proposed to commen' upon these affirmations, and cite opposing circumstances. It is a mistake to suppose that the great majority of women want to vote. They do not. In proof of which we state the following facts, which can easily be verified. We mention first the Massachusetts referendum of 1895, in which women of that state, which was one of the earliest and strongest advocates of suffrage for women, were invited to put themselves on record, by the same means that men do, and under the same conditions, as to whether or not they desired the ballot. Less than four per cent of all the women of the state, of voting age, expressed such a desire, and that in spite of the earnest efforts of the suffragist agitators to call out a big affirmative vote The proposition was ingloriously defeated all over the state, from Cape Cod to the Berkshire Hills, no measure having ever met with so overwhelming an overthrow in the state. prey of bosses and ringsters. We have testimony to this fact from both suffrage and anti-suffrage sources. FARMERS ATTEND LECTURES Talks by University Professors Attract Thousands More than 74,000 California farmers attended the lectures of University of California professors, given under the auspices of the Southern Pacific Co. during the year 1910-11. The exact number of auditors to these lectures during this latest lecture tour was 76,236. This is an increase of 2575 over the year 1909-10, and an increase of 38,966 over the year 1908-9, when the agricultural demonstration train was first inaugurated by the Southern Pacific company. Professor W. T. Clarke, superintendent of the University of California extension in agriculture, has followed to say relative to these special agricultural and horticultural demonstration trains: "The special agricultural and hoftcultural demonstration trains now being operated by the Southern Pacific Company and co-operated in by the University of California college of agriculture, is by far the most extensive effort of its kind that has ever been put forth in any part of the country. Spirit of cooperation with the producers is manifested and the Southern Pacific Company, recognizing the fact that better results should be obtained from the farms of the state, and also recognizing the fact that its best interests are bound up in the success of the producers, has joined with the college of agriculture and experiment station of the state, in bringing to the farms and to the workers thereof improved methods of procedure whereby better returns could be obtained." The train is always accompanied by an operating official of the company and usually by the agents of the dis- Monte spent Sunday with sister, Mrs. J. Ritter.

Less than four per cent of all the women of the state, of voting age, expressed such a desire, and that in spite of the earnest efforts of the suffragist agitators to call out a big affirmative vote The proposition was ingloriously defeated all over the state, from Cape Cod to the Berkshire Hills, no measure having ever met with so overwhelming an overthrow in the state. Very naturally a proposition for a similar referendum in New York state in 1910 was strongly opposed by the suffragists. School suffrage, now granted in about half our states, has been a lamentable failure, the women vote averaging scarcely 2 per cent in any state. In the state of Ohio the number of women responding to the privilege has been so small, and the expense of registering and counting it has been so relatively large, that it has been seriously proposed to withdraw it altogether. In Chicago, in the election of November 8, 1910, where women are allowed to vote for university trustee, in spite of the earnest efforts of the suffragists to bring out the full woman vote in the city, its population being counted by millions, 490 females registered, and of these but 243 voted. Several years ago it was proposed to send a monster petition, signed by a million women, to the congress of the United States. The changes upon this petition were continually rung in our ears, and the petition itself was circulated throughout the country, and women's names were sought, begged, entreated and cajoled in every possible way. During the last session of congress (1910) the petition was carried to Washington, with great noise of trumpets and tooting of automobiles, but when the signatures were examined they were found to number less than half a million; to be exact, women 163,438, men 122,382, and 119,005 described by the presenters as "unclassified." We do not know exactly what this term implies, but it has been suggested that they may be babes and children, whose names were enrolled on the supposition that when they were grown up they would no doubt be suffragists. The population of the United States according to the census of 1910 is considerably more than 90,000,000. We decline to figure out the insignificant percentage of the number which the names signed to this petition, represent Pacific Company, recognizing the fact that better results should be obtained from the farms of the state, and also recognizing the fact that its best interests are bound up in the success of the producers, has joined with the college of agriculture and experiment station of the state, in bringing to the farms and to the workers thereof improved methods of procedure whereby better returns could be obtained." The train is always accompanied by an operating official of the company and usually by the agents of the district through which it traverses. It is thoroughly advertised and the press of the state has kindly given it prominent notice. Through these press notices and advertising the state in general has received notification of the coming of these trains and this has helped wonderfully in bringing interested ones to the station for the time that the train stops. The train covered a mileage of 2.608.4 miles in 1908, held 239 meetings which were attended by 37,270 people during the 61 days the train was out. During the 1909-10 season 3436.6 miles were covered, 222 meetings were held, the attendance was 73,663, the train being out 63 days. More than 4000 miles were made during the 1910-11 season. The train was out 76 days, 225 meetings were held at which there was a total attendance of 76,236. With only a few exceptions the attendance at each town where a stop was made showed a large increase. The slight falling off at these few stations was caused probably by the farmers not receiving notice of the visit in time, in many cases it requiring an entire day for farmers of a district to reach the railroad station. The train this year was enlarged to ten cars, five of which were coaches containing exhibits; two baggage-cars, 1 standard sleeper, 1 diner and 1 baggage car fitted with sleeping accommodations for the train crew. The entire seasons work was accomplished without any accident or casualty and the public was appreciative of the work. The exhibits and demonstrations were divided into the following fifteen heads: Field crops, soils, fertilizers, animal industries, veterinary science, dairy industry, horticulture, viticulture, irrigation, birds and mammals, plant diseases, poultry, public health, home economics, university farm school and entomology.

The Woman's Home Companion, a large and very popular woman's magazine, concludes a lengthy and impartial article on the subject of woman suffrage in its number for October 1, 1910, by saying of New York City: "It is a picturesque struggle, this daily and hourly fight of not more than two thousand women, to convert a city of four million souls, to a cause which the nation has thought for fifteen years dead," and it cautions the women to beware of "the dull thud of the American man's foot," which may be slow in coming down upon the fanatical schemes which women sometimes advocate, but which in the end is tolerably sure. We quote the paragraph for the statistics it contains. We believe they afford a generous estimate of the relative numbers of the women who desire to vote. But it is said that women vote in Colorado and the other states where the full vote is allowed, as freely as the men. To this we reply, that the rivalry of parties forces out many unwilling voters, on both sides, including women, who vote at the solicitation of men anxious for the passage of certain measures, as well as the illiterate and immoral who are the BUENA PARK ITEMS W. R. Link, a prominent banker of Huron, South Dakota, who has been the guest of his sister, Mrs. C. H. Newcombe of "Newcombe Place," left Monday morning for his home via San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver and he contemplates returning within a year to establish his residence in Anaheim, as he was very favorably impressed with Orange county and Anaheim in particular. He predicts a great future in the progress and development of same. Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Atwood and their son Howell Atwood motored from Pasadena and spent the weed-end at the home of C. S. Cox. Mrs. E. L. Cole returned on Monday from San Diego where she has been the guest of her daughter, Mrs. M. H. McAlmond. The card party and dance given by the Buena Park chapter of the Eastern Star on Saturday evening was a decided success. Music for dancing was furnished by the Artesia orchestra. A delicious supper was served in the adjoining banquet room at eleven. The ladies and gentlemen of Buena Park have been invited by the Associated Chambers of Commerce to attend a basket picnic at Newport on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Dodd of El Monte spent Sunday with the latter's sister, Mrs. J. Ritter. Miss Myrtle Ice, formerly of Redondo, will organize a class for piano instruction and already a number of pupils have announced their intention of studying under her efficient tutorage. The Centralia Council of the Fraternal Aid Association gave an enjoyable entertainment on Friday evening. The numbers on the program were well received by the large number present. O. P. Bunyard, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Gillison opened the program with a violin solo. Miss Grace Lucas and Herbert Damron gave a duet on the piano. A vocal solo by little Edna Lucas was heartily applauded. Stanley Tummonds gave a well rendered selection on the violin. The event of the evening was a cleverly acted sketch, "The Peak Sisters" by the ladies of the council. A social dance completed a very delightful evening. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Pitcher of Los Angeles are the house guests of Mrs. George E. Gill. HAD THEIR DOUBLES Instances Among Celebrities—Dickens and Tennyson Many celebrities have had their doubles. Grant Duff records that he found "Professor Schrader so ludicrously like Huxley that I went up and shook him by the hand at Lady Alford's." There was a strong physical resemblance between Tennyson and Leslie Stephens, in spite of a disparity in years, and between Julies Ferry and Whiteley, the universal provider. Edmund Yates was so like the late shah of Persia that his photographs were sold in Brussels as the shah's when Nasr-ed-Din visited that city. Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema used to have a double in George Du Maurier. The Change of a Letter. At the period when British Columbia was threatening to withdraw from the Dominion of Canada because the Carnervon settlement had been ignored by the Mackenzie administration the late Lord Dufferin took part in a public function in Quebec. While the procession was moving through the principal streets a gentleman, breathless with excitement, hurried up to his excellency's carriage to say a "rebel" arch had been placed across the road so as to identify the viceroy with the approval of the disloyal inscription thereon. "Can you tell me what words there are on the arch?" quietly asked Dufferin. "Oh, yes," replied his informant; "they are 'Carnarvon Terms or Separation.'" "Send the committee to me," commanded his excellency. "Now, gentlemen," said he, with a smile, to the committee. "I'll go under your beautiful arch on one condition. I won't ask you to do much, and I beg but a trifling favor. I merely ask that you alter one letter in your motto. Turn the S into an R make it 'Carnarvon Terms or Separation' and I will gladly pass under it." The committee yielded, and eventually Dufferin contrived to smooth over the difficulties and to reconcile the malcontents. Odd Street Names. In Clerkenwell, England, there is a street called Pickled Egg walk. It takes its name from Pickled Egg tavern, which formerly stood there and made a specialty of serving pickled eggs. An interesting London thoroughfare is Hanging Sword alley, which is mentioned in Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities." London has also Picklehering street. In Leicester is a street called the Holy Bones and another called Gallows Tree Gate. Hull has a street with the extraordinary name the Land of Green Ginger. Corydon has a street named Pump Pail, and there some years ago lived Peter Potter, a dealer in furniture. The most daring of farce writers might well have hesitated to invent a combination of name and address so improbable as that which really belonged to Peter Potter of Pump Pail—St. James' Ga- and shook him by the hand at Lady Alford's." There was a strong physical resemblance between Tennyson and Leslie Stephens, in spite of a disparity in years, and between Julies Ferry and Whiteley, the universal provider. Edmund Yates was so like the late shah of Persia that his photographs were sold in Brussels as the shah's when Nasr-ed-Din visited that city. Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema used to have a double in George Du Maurier. So closely did they resemble each other that a lady at a dinner one evening addressed Du Maurier as Sir Alma, and assured him that he was "really not a bit like that Mr. Du Maurier, as people tried to make out." It is open to the fictionist who deals in doubles to point to many instances in real life. King George and the czar of Russia could exchange parts without anybody noticing the physical difference. The duke of Norfolk and the late George Manville Penn were almost exact duplicates in outward appearance. And two such artists in different ways as Anthony Hope and Howard German were in their earlier years again and again mistaken for each other. They were hardly "doubles," but there was a remarkable resemblance between Tennyson and Dickens. Comyns Carr in his "Eminent Victorians" tells how he once showed the poet a pencil drawing which Milais had made of Dickens after death. Mr. Carr himself had been struck by the resemblance the portrait bore to Tennyson, and was curious to see if the poet would notice it. Tennyson gazed at it intently for a minute and then exclaimed: "Why this is a most extraordinary drawing. It is exactly like myself." SACRED CONCERT The Presbyterian Church was crowded on Sunday evening at a Sacred concert, which was excellently rendered. The program was as follows: Organ Voluntary, Mr. Hand. Gloria. Prayer, Rev. Mitchell. Anthem, "Awake, Awake, Jerusalem," Choir. Scripture. Duet, Misses Balfour and Powers. Male quartette, Messrs. Mitchell, Kuhlman, Angell and Wickett. Solo, Miss Balfour. Anthem, "Lovest Thou Me?" Choir. Quintette, Misses Grimshaw, Beebe Balfour, Johnston, Hand. Solo, Miss Powers. Notices and offering. Squaring the Circle. The origin of the problem squaring the circle is almost lost in the mists of antiquity, but there is a record of an attempted quadrature in Egypt 500 years before the exodus of the Jews. There is also a claim, according to Hone, that the problem was solved by a discovery of Hippocrates, the geometrician of Chios—not the physician—500 B. O. Now, the efforts of Hippocrates were devoted toward converting a circle into a crescent, because he had found that the area of a figure produced by drawing two perpendicular radii in a circle is exactly equal to the triangle formed by the line of junction. This is the famous theorem of the "lunes of Hippocrates" and is, like glauber's salts out of the philosopher's stone, an example of the useful results which sometimes follow a search for the unattainable.

A true specimen of the highland man's difficulties with the English language: Farmer (who had instructed his Gaelic shepherd to look for a number of sheep that had wandered from the fold)—Well, Donald, have you found them?

Huelster and family, Miss Helen Hutchinson, Miss Ceal Trendle and Carl Duckworth. They report a pleasant day's outing at the beach, unmarred by not a single unpleasant event, except a dusty ride home. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hunter and Miss Catherine Hunter left yesterday for a three months visit to the Canadian rockies. They will tour the northwest, and will spend some time at Banff. "It is the most useful thing in the house," said a lady of her Bell Telephone. "It takes my message to the market, to the merchant, the doctor, to the fire station, to anybody any place." Bell Telephone Service is the standard service of the world, and every Bell Telephone is a long distance station. The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co.
